I see many of the patterns emerging in the AsyncAPI community that I have seen in the Swagger and OpenAPI communities. I also see some things that are different because the types of APIs being defined are different. This is one of the open source communities I will definitely be keen on mapping out over time to help me better understand where things are going.
